Dec-19-2025
Copper futures settled almost flat with positive bias on Thursday, supported by rising demand from industrial and energy sectors, and coupled with constrained supply in the market. Moreover, softer US inflation data bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut its benchmark interest-rate at least twice next year, also supported copper prices. However, slight rise in the American dollar index made dollar-denominated metals more expensive for international buyers, capped potential gains in copper prices.

Copper futures for March delivery rose $0.002 to settle at $5.4375 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.35% at $11,778 a ton.
